stx IWf ' l ' THE COURIER 3 crltluMB 'K.i M' vHUP B&5 It was a good Iioubo that witnessed the third presentation or "The Charity Ball" at the Lansing theatre opei a house Saturday night. He must bo an unfeeling person who .can seo this play and not feel that there is that in it wnicn puns at his neart strings, it is a story so true to life, its sorrow is so real, its Joy so natural, that one is engrossed in its gradual xnfolding; and the lessons it teaches are most wholesome. It is fortunate that "The Charity Ball" has always been in good hands. First sent out on the road by Daniel Frohman, it is now in the hands of Gustavo Frohman's company, which s as well qualified to present it as was its predecessor. The cast is a large one, and all the characters must be well sustained to preserve the harmony of the piece. Credit for the best work must be given to Mr. Gibney, in his assumption of the part of Judge Peter Gurney Knox; Mb char acterization is said to bo of his own creation an...

THE COURIER A HUMBUG SESSION. LEGISLATURES are always frauds and delusionsparticular ly in Nebraska. And the present session, to speak plainly will probably be a greater humbug than any that have pre ceded it. In the first place the republicans aro ovorwhehningly in the majority, ami it is a noticeable and historic fact that when Ihe republicans are in control indisrerence becomes a prominent legis. latire characteristic. To much success is just as harmful to republicans as to democrats. The present legislature is what the. daily newspapers call a "repre sentative body of men." It is composed, in large measure, of active, young or middle aged men, lawyers, farmers, merchants, politicians, etc. The majority of the republican members are actively identified with the party organization, and "the boys" aro largely represented. There is a deep undercurrent of sentiment that follows Pope's lines, "Whatever is, is right." There is no strong sentiment in favor of genuine reform. There is no...

THE COURIER COMING ATTRACTIONS. "Tho Country Circus" which has a strong hold upon the affections of our theatro-gocrs will come to town and figuratively pitch its tents within the walls of tho LatiBing theatre next Monday for three performances, Monday evening, Tuesday matinee and evening. Who cares that the ring be smaller than Barnum's? You can see all the wonders better tho trained horses, who shoot one another dead or play leap frog at the crack of the whip, or the wonderful dogs which can do almost anything but talk and really seem to try to do that, and many other attractions that are absolutely new. "The Country Circus' is too well known hero to need any extended description. The delicious New England comedy which precedes it, is as quaint as ever, and all tho strongest features of the tanbark of last year are retained, but the chief attraction now lies in the many new absolute novelties which this enterprising firm of managers have added to their already enormous attraction....

I sat next to a very pretty girl in a heredic yesterday, and quite without meaning it I overheard what she said to a friend who was with her. "No," said she, "he hasn't been to see me for a month, and I reckon he'll never come again. He is lovely, too awfully swell, and as sensitive as a girl. It's all mamma's fault, and I'm heart-broken over it. Toil soe, the last time he came over was the evening after Juliii's wrdding. You know what a lovely account of it there was in the Post. Well, mamma had been too busy all day to read it, so just u little after 10 o'clock s"-e came to the head of the stairs and called down to me, 'Jennie, please bring me up the morning paper.' "He was talking oeantifully, but he stopped, marched out into the hall, and said io her, It hasn't come yet!' Then he took his hat and went. I haven't seen him since, but I almost want to be an orpha...

l!S-Si THE COURJER 9 THE NEW DANCES. The hiBtory of dancing is very interesting, showing as it does, that the ancients placed a high value upon it as a form of exercise, and there are no ceremonies or religious rites of any antiquity in which there was not dancing. Egypt ascribes to herself the origin of the art, as being invented by tho Egyptian Mercury, who observed that the music used in tho sacrifices gave to tho body many different motions. Ho took thence the art by directing the motion of the feet to the artificial dance. That it was ho who first invented it, is presumedfrom his beingalways depicted with wings on his shoulders and heels. Ho taught tho people to uso it in religion, and this is further illustrated from tho practice of the Israelites, in their danc ing before tho golden calf. The Bible, which contains numerous references to dancing, des cribes how Miriam placed herself at the head of the women of Israel and led tho maidens in their dance. Plato said: Other animal...
